On the second day of his three-day trip to the US, politician Rahul Gandhi met with representatives from the US Congress and business executives. He has received criticism from certain Indian Americans who are against the Congress party.
Rahul Gandhi spoke with the heads of the House Rules Committee, Jim McGovern, and the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner. He also spoke with healthcare, technology, and finance CEOs.
Rahul Gandhi’s visit is seen as an opportunity to strengthen ties between India and the US. However, he encountered resistance from certain Indian Americans against the Congress party. On Tuesday, demonstrators gathered in front of the Indian Consulate in New York to protest Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi was urged to “return to India” by protesters, who chanted and waved signs in his direction.
Rahul Gandhi discussed a variety of subjects in his talks, including the Indo-Pacific region, climate change, and economic cooperation. He also emphasized the need to deepen the partnership between the US and India.
Rahul Gandhi is in the US at a time when the US and India are working to solidify their strategic partnership. Numerous agreements have been reached following recent high-level talks between the two nations, and it is anticipated that more will be inked in the coming months.
The Hindu American Foundation, a group hostile to the Congress party, planned the rallies. The organization has denigrated Rahul Gandhi as “anti-Hindu” and “anti-Modi.”
Rahul Gandhi dismissed the BJP’s criticism as well as the demonstrations. He says he is in America to “build bridges” between India and the United States.
